Changes Coming to Howard Watson Trail

Changes are coming to Sarnia's Howard Watson Nature Trail, according to Bluewater Trails committee head Tony Barrand and Return The Landscape's Felicia Syer — changes that will make the trail more accessible for those with disabilities or mobility issues, more appealing for families, cyclists and joggers and a lot more environmentally friendly.

Barrand and Syer spoke about the 16-kilometre long pathway during this week’s meeting of Green Drinks Sarnia.

The Bluewater Trails committee, a committee of Sarnia city council, oversees 60 kilometres of trails in Sarnia, but Barrand said the Howard Watson Nature Trail is one of Sarnia’s natural gems, a natural space used by tens of thousands of people every year.

“In 1994, the City of Sarnia had students count the number of trail users between June and September,” he said. “Back then, the trail had 10,000 users over the summer. I think if we did counting now, we'd probably be well over 20,000 users. More and more people want to be active, so there are many more people using the trail.”

Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
